We sent today a letter to our members announcing some changes here at NTEN.

After a very wonderful time at the helm, I have decided to step down as Executive Director, effective November 1, 2007. The board has appointed Holly Ross, NTEN's Program Director, to become the next ED. You probably know Holly well already. For many years, she has been the soul and spirit of NTEN. I am thrilled she has agreed to take NTEN to the next level; you are in great hands with her.

The NTEN Board has invited me to join in November as a Board Member. I am excited and grateful to continue to be part of the field and involved in NTEN's health and well-being in that capacity.

It's about you.  That's what's important to remember about harnessing the power of Web 2.0 for social change - and fundraising for your organization. 

This week NTEN hosted a webinar, What Kevin Bacon Knows about Web 2.0: Six Degrees of Person-to-Person Fundraising, that demonstrated the tools available to individuals and organizations to turn everyone into a celebrity fundraiser.
